I know Reggie Jackson is a good player.

With my tattoos, I've got my war side on my left side, being left handed, and a faith side on my right side, right with God.

Every time you leave your house, you've got to be prepared for what might happen.

Derrick Rose - he's had his opportunity. He's been an MVP in the league. His efficiency isn't what it used to be.

Russell Westbrook, giving $1 million to UCLA, it's noble. It's recognizable. It's something that's going to create a legacy for his name for years to come. It's philanthropic work.

A lot of times, when you see someone do something, whether it's sports or multimedia or whatever their profession is, you think it just starts when you see them; you don't realize all of the sweat equity that goes into it.

One of my favorite Finals was actually Detroit vs. Los Angeles, because it was home and home for me, personally. It was like my childhood home and my second home.

'Countdown' is family television.

Being a child of the 1970s, I remember cleaning up on the weekends. we would listen to everything from Marvin Gaye to Frankie Beverly and Maze.

Eminem is one of the greatest rappers of all time.

My biggest concern for the Lakers - and they're going have to figure out a way to rectify this - is Lonzo Ball.

I hated Duke, and I hated everything Duke stood for. Schools like Duke didn't recruit players like me.

As you get older, sometimes you lose touch with people you were friends with in high school and college. But when you've been part of a legacy together, you should still find a way to see eye to eye.

I left my mark in the college game, and I'm definitely happy about that.

What you see at a bachelor or bachelorette party is what happens on a recruiting visit.

I do support college athletes and the opportunity for them to be paid a stipend.

All the people who can't get into Michigan go to Michigan State.

Maya Moore is one of the greatest champions in basketball, male or female.

There are a lot of great players that never got a chance to play for a national championship. And I got a chance to play for two.

When you're paying millions of dollars for somebody to coach your team, you can find somebody good.

If somebody says Kyrie Irving wants the Boston Celtics to win the championship without him, they're flat-out lying to you.

There's a lot of players that go to a city, pick up a check, go to practice, and just worry about what's happening in their households, and you can't blame them.

For those that reach out to try to help others, the less fortunate, those that are impoverished, those that feel like they need a pick-me-up, for somebody to have that extra energy to do that, I really have admiration for him.

I consider Tom Gores a friend.

I just appreciate the support that I've gotten, and do what I can to garner support, is kind of my attitude.

People are quick to pigeonhole you.

If you are knowledgeable about something and are able to talk about it, you should be able to express yourself.

I get to talk about sports on television for a living.

Everyone wants to be successful. What I've learned is how do you determine what that is?

Ask any athlete. One of his dreams is to play in New York wearing a Knicks uniform. It's also always been a dream of mine.

We never give Al Horford the credit he deserves as a modern big.

You know how certain adults feel, the older they get, the longer the walk was to school? Well, I don't feel like that.

Let's face it: if you're an elite basketball player and you choose to be socially and politically active, it could harm your brand.

I don't hang with people I don't know. Outsiders can mess up your flow.

But the best revenge for naysayers is living well. And living well is doing your job and taking care of your family.

My father, Jimmy Walker, was the first pick in the 1967 draft, but I never met him. He passed in 2007. I found out about him in middle school. I was old enough to understand who he was, where he went to college, and what his game was about. Older players like Bill Russell and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar have come up to me to talk about him.

Most of the time, before you get traded, there are rumblings. I wasn't totally surprised that I was going to get traded - I anticipated it happening. And I wasn't surprised that I got traded to the Knicks, either.

I realize everything's on me as far as what kind of player, person, and student I'm going to be.

I've always been a big-time Scottie Pippen fan. That was my guy growing up!

People don't realize this, but throughout my career, I grew up patterning my game after Scottie Pippen's. I admire him for his versatility.

I've always gotten a kick out of leading my team in assists.

It takes a certain level of maturity to get hit and get knocked down and get back up.

I played with Eddy Curry twice and in New York, the second time, he asked, 'Who are you?' My first to fourth year I was a different person. I started thinking big picture, that maybe I don't have all the answers.

Winning always cures all.

I think when you're starting you have more of a luxury. You know you're going to play 33, 35, 37 minutes per game, so you can kind of feel the game out. When you come off the bench you have to be more in attack mode. You have to make something happen immediately.

My earliest childhood memories are of my dad putting a basketball in my hand and playing with me in our backyard.

I feel like I can get any shot I want. That's not to sound cocky or conceited. It's because I've played basketball basically every day of my life. So at some point, I've taken just about every shot there is. I've figured out the angles, almost like a pool shark. I know where to use the glass, which dribble I need and which spot I want to reach.
